Children love to imitate what they see adults doing in their everyday lives through role play. When mom or dad is cooking, they quickly pull up a chair to closely observe how things are done. With the Water WOW Cooking Play Set from Melissa & Doug, they can dive into imaginative cooking and experience how food that looks frozen and white "cooks" and changes color. This little bit of magic is what particularly fascinates children about Water WOW products. Simply place vegetables and meat in the pot, pretend to turn on the stove, and then stir with the water-filled spoon. The food will start to change color. When the food dries after being served, it loses its color again, allowing the cooking fun to be repeated as often as desired. The double-sided cardboard inserts for the pot feature complete meals. What will it be today? Spaghetti or macaroni and cheese, risotto or soup? For those who want to expand this play set with even more cooking magic, the Water WOW Grill Play Set (sold separately) offers additional food items with color-changing effects. The Melissa & Doug brand has been synonymous with educational toys for over 35 years, providing children with realistic play experiences and fostering important skills.
